Well, the bug reports are still there, even if they're closed.  :-)  It's
just part of the ranking, in a way, and says something about how hard we
think (as maintainers) that we (as maintainers) should be looking at the
bug reports.

interesting").

By putting bug reports in the last category more aggressively, one hopes
to stimulate people to focus on the rest of the reports...

I don't know how well this works for projects that auto-close bug
reports.  Anybody have experience with that?
